Abstract
A sensor associated to a depth regulation device, applicable to a sowing body, wherein said sensor is mechanically coupled to the aforementioned depth regulation device, comprising at least one load application point arranged on its upper surface and in proximity to the lower section of a transverse shaft which receives and transmits the load applied by a respective pivot connected to the support arms of a respective gauge wheel of the seeding unit.
Claims14
A depth regulation device for a seeding machine, comprising:
- a sensor pivotally mounted on the seeding machine and attached to a support of the depth regulation device, wherein the sensor and the support rotate coaxially and integrally in conjunction with the depth regulation device throughout the depth regulation device's entire rotation range;
- wherein the sensor further comprises at least one load application point arranged on an upper surface and in proximity to a lower section of a transverse shaft, which transmits the load applied by a respective pivot connected to a support arm of a wheel of the seeding machine, thereby maintaining a constant perpendicular direction of the applied load relative to the sensor.
